Availability
I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time.

I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.
Information Marcella T. would like to know about your pet
Dogs are all different, just like us!!! Age and socialization help shape behavior. Knowing if a dog is nervous or bold can be of great assistance. You know your dog best! I am happy to listen to anything you think is important to help creat a positive fun experience for them. And I have no breed preferences. I know there’s lovable qualities to every breed!
A typical day
There’s so many smells and stimulus all over the place... a walk around the neighborhood would a normal event but to change things up for you dog fun runs on the beach are always an option! Going to new places like on a dog friendly hiking trail or anywhere you suggest is never out of the question.

Pet care experience
I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting!
Reviews
Marcella was amazing with our dog Nori. She took her on so many fun adventures and got her a lot of great exercise. Marcella was also extremely communicative and sent lots of photos, which I appreciated. She also was very accommodating and worked with our schedule for pick up. I would definitely recommend Marcella!!
Marcella was amazing. Our boy Beau came back happy, she was communicative and kept us updated. Highly recommend.
Marcella did a great job communicating and keep us informed on all areas and working with our dog on areas where he could improve.
Marcella's care for our two border collies was excellent. Highly recommend her for taking care of you dog(s)
